There is something about the couples that choose to get married in the two venues that Anna & Tom chose today – the Basing Room and the Green Man pub in Winchester. Couples who want something low key, and elegant, and friendly, and intimate. Who want to do a wedding their own way, and make every step of that meaningful. All I know is that I like them all immensely.

So today it threw it down with rain, because, well, November. As always, this didn’t matter the tiniest of jots. Anna & Tom decided they didn’t want any posed couple shots, or loads of family groups, but just wanted me to hang out & tell a story, which is what I did. So we weaved a tale of family, of rain, of beautiful flowers and rich interiors, of a groom playing his guitar as his bride entered the room, of funny stories (and poems!), hearty food and smiles. All the smiles.

Anna & Tom, I am so honoured you chose me to tell your story. Here is a chapter 😉
